About

Lots of people assume that the most exciting thing you're likely to see in the coastal waters round Britain is a mackerel. In fact there is a staggering variety of marine and bird life living happily round our shores and this is your chance to see it for yourselves. You'll be welcomed before going aboard your boat and heading out in a 12 seater rigid inflatable boat with twin engines. You might see bottlenose, common or striped dolphins, porpoises, basking sharks, minke whales, fin whales, humpback whales (yes, whales and sharks around Britain!), atlantic grey seals and visiting seasonal sea birds including skuas, sabine's gulls and the fabulously-named sooty shearwaters. Of course these are all wild animals so we can't guarantee which ones may make an appearance on the day, but we can guarantee a fascinating and eye-opening experience. Also included in your experience is free entry to the Maritime Museum (to be taken anytime you like during their opening hours on the same day).

Key Info

Availability: Tours run all year round, including at least two dates per month (Fridays or Saturdays). Summer trips are always popular - please book early.
Participant Guidelines: Minimum age is 6; younger children are not permitted on board for safety reasons. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult. Sorry, but wheelchair users, pregnant women or customers over 16 stone generally can't be accommodated.
Weather: It is essential that you call to confirm the weather forecast and go-ahead time with the skipper 24 hours before your trip. If it is cancelled, you'll be re-booked for another day.
Duration: The trip usually lasts for around two hours.
Numbers On Day: This experience is for four people. Your boat will carry a maximum of 12 passengers.
Spectators: The boat trip is limited to paying participants, but friends and family are welcome to wave you off. Being close to Falmouth town centre, there are plenty of options to keep everyone happy until the boat returns.
Dress Code: Wear rubber-soled shoes (no heels please). Bring waterproofs and plenty of warm layers - it can get very cold out on the water. In warmer weather bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. Life-jackets are provided and (for adults) waterproofs too.
Other Info: It is impossible to guarantee dolphin sightings, but the vast majority of trips do encounter plenty of marine and bird life. Bring a camera!
